Writings

The pathology of hurting children and missing pages of Epstein files

Understanding the depravity of the Epstein pedophiles and their protectors is key to understanding what we have running this country. Trump and his MAGA minions have gone from corrupt clowns to racist warmongers, and everything in between. The country needs to find its moral bearings because the depravity of these sociopaths affects us all. When you can hurt children without thought or remorse, you are capable of anything.
